Patient's question:

What kind of help is desired: How to improve? How should the baby be fed in the future?
Doctor's answer:
This condition is infant constipation. It is mainly caused by insufficient intake of dietary fiber. First, let the child drink more water and consume more vegetables and fruits, with a lighter diet. Avoid foods that are difficult to digest. You can also use physiotherapy to massage the baby's abdomen in a clockwise direction to promote intestinal peristalsis. If the condition is very severe, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. After diagnosis, medication should be taken under the guidance of a doctor.
